The Human Cost of Cryptocurrency’s Machine-Generated Addresses
The Human Cost of Cryptocurrency’s Machine-Generated Addresses

Web3’s reliance on hexadecimal addresses like 0x8e3e7b3C7F74E1FF5f3A9b6a4D64C8E934dF3273 creates a barrier to mainstream adoption. These 42-character strings are unintelligible to most users, prone to errors, and have led to significant financial losses—one mistyped address cost an investor $700,000.
The early internet solved a similar problem with Domain Naming Systems (DNS), replacing numerical IP addresses with human-readable words. Yet Web3, despite its promise of democratization, still forces users to interact with machine-generated gibberish. This disconnect highlights a critical usability gap in blockchain technology.
